Is it that a house turned into a βwerehouseβ (like werewolf instead of warehouse)?

Are those fucking primarchs?
This doesn't make sense, they're called werewolves, not werehumans. It should be something other than a house at the beginning.
The reason for the disconnect is that "wer" is an Old English term for "man" which has pretty much only survived with "werewolf," so we now associate the "were" part with transforming into something.
pretty much only survived with "werewolf,"
There's no other English word in the whole world that comes from wer? π
I said "pretty much" because I assumed it was in there somewhere else. I never knew "world" had roots with it!
Fun fact: "wer" evolved into "vyras" and is still used in Lithuanian language, but Lithuanian word for werewolf is "vilkolakis" and does not include the word.
One origin of werewolves also comes from Baltic shamanic practices of communicating with wolves and sometimes "turning" into them.
Meme still doesn't make sense
It does as a pun.
Warehouse/werehouse "works" as a pun out of context, sure. In context though, it's supposed to be the punchline for this joke, but it isn't.
Me staring at this for three minutes trying to figure out how this is possibly loss.
It's meta. Warehouses tends to have some loss.
Can someone who isnβt a moron like me explain this to me?
Tap for spoiler
